Steve Vai Sends Jason Becker a Personal Message on the Release of Triumphant Hearts

[@brettmarlar4154]

Just another example of how much of a class act Steve Vai truly is.

@@upsetman1887 I've actually met him once. He truly is a kind. and exceptionally gracious guy. He doesn't take anything for granted. He also just happens to be one of the most incredible players/composers to pick up the instrument!

[@koolerm4806]

Met Steve At NAMM After He Played!! I Was With My Buddy, We Love Steve's Playing....He Says, "Oh S***, There's Steve Vai (As Steve Was Getting In A Car To Leave) I Would Have Loved To Meet Him" I (Being Bold and Buzzed) Replied "Let Me Try " I Approached And Expressed We Loved The Show, Would It Be Possible To Get A Photo? He Happily Obliged, Even Though He Was Leaving. He Walked Over To Where My Friend Was Standing , Shook Hands, Made Introductions And Took The Picture!!! When My Friend Looked...He Realized...The Picture DIDN'T Come Out And Expressed Quietly His Disappointment. Steve (Somehow) Heard Him! (From Quite A Distance) Turns Around And Yells Back "It DIDN'T Come Out???" Then Runs Back And Takes ANOTHER....Then Stuck Around To MAKE SURE IT DID!!! EXTREMELY GREAT COOL 😎 GUY!

I'm always amazed how humble these rock "gods" are. Pro athletes could learn something from them.

[@Maroma5361]

Most of them. I personally believe Yngwie Malmsteen is above most of them in level but he’s anything but humble

[@GoatMee]

Athletes compete, musicians don't. Competition is in the eyes of the spectator. Also, there should be dimensions between "insanely/incomprehensibly/your-favourite-adjective good" and "god".

Triumphant Hearts is one of the most inspiring albums I‘ve ever heard. I got it on Christmas and when I listened to it the next day, I had tears in my eyes. Wonderfull. Thank you Jason Becker!

[@IggyBing]

I know nobody really cares deeply about Grammy awards, but if ever anything were worthy of a Grammy nod, Jason and this album certainly are. I hope somebody with clout has the decency to nominate this or portions of it into as many categories as it'll fit. Again, not because he needs it, at all whatsoever... but beyond comprehension he has absolutely earned it. Congrats Mr. Becker on a beautiful record.

Jason Becker is an inspiration! Thank you Jason.

[@seansabol170]

About six months ago, I found my love with Neoclassical music (I am 12 years old) and when I first heard Jason Becker, I was amazed. I Had just played Steve Vai For the love of God for my schools talent show on Dec. 21, 2018. So I was thinking about doing Jason Becker mabel's fatal fable for this year's talent show at my school on 2019. A few days later, I watched Not Dead Yet, and when I found out that Jason Becker had A.L.S, I cried because Jason's dream was coming true and it just all of a sudden got thrown out the window. Once again, I am very amazed at Jason's work. I wish for the best.

[@nolanvarner7529]

Steve Vai, what can be said..... very talented, very accomplished, extremely humble

[@toddthedestroyer9764]

Everytime I think about what happened to Jason and how he has endured and still create as he does, I break tears. An inspiration to others to follow dreams.

[@arnyarny77]

hey jason! thank you for being JASON BECKER one day i guess i was in high school, a friend told me "listen to this" it was you and marty in cacophony, couldn't believe my ears my first experience with neo classical, and from that day on been inspired by the classics, you are a virtuoso and above all an extraordinary human being, just astonishing and i wish you well !

[@GappyStraze]

I do not know how is it possible for a human to play guitar like Jason. Love you Jason.

[@tonyacarlone2547]

Wow! Steve you are so right! People take for granted life and what most of us can do. My heart goes out to Jason and all who love him. My son has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It’s similar to ALS but it affects our boys from birth. It’s a very progressive muscle disease. ALS happens in adults and it’s a very progressive, rapid progression. Honestly, just really think you are such an amazing friend to him. Wow!! We need more people like yourself in this world. Prayers sent for Jason!

[@snoek1971]

I Just bought the album! Beside the beautiful music I want to support Jason. Thank you for being among us and sharing your art ❤️🎶

[@IanLogendra]

Got my signed copy today. Listened to it for first time. It's brilliant. My other half even commented on how beautiful the music was. She has opera singing training so she very rarely likes what I like musically. I've got my own health issues and Jason remains a true inspiration in many ways. I hope I'm around for the next installment.

[@aris9125]

I know how sad for a person must be without his body abilities to work with the high standards of today and more in the musical aspect, with so many players excelling his talents way beyond expectations; despite all of that, we have Jason, and i know he must had overcome so many walls (frustration, pain, anger, sorrow, sadness, etc) which is normal for everyone of us in that situation, but overcome all of that and not only survive, but keep the faith and jump and jump higher and higher, oh man, that is just Beautiful! My words for Jason is: You are a Beautiful human being and all humanity are proud of you...my sincere congratulation Jason... because of you, i get up every morning and try to jump higher too. Kisses my friend!

From one of my heroes to another. Both Steve and Jason are absolute musical titans

[@johnmargiotti1262]

I started playing guitar in 1986. At some point I picked up a cassette with him and Marty Friedman called Cacophony. It blew me away. But I was a kid and had too many other things going on and it didn't take long for me to stop playing. Now I'm 51 and I've been playing again for about a year and found Jason's story. I have never been so moved and determined to succeed after seeing someone so talented who loved music and the guitar so much have it taken away from him. It is my sole motivation for picking up the guitar and practicing every morning.

[@AugieGK4life]

Yeah man that's what I'm saying! Growing up a teenager in 2005-2010 Jason Becker has been essential to my concepts of playing guitar and finding my own happiness out of life. It really does not matter what surrounds you, nearly as much as it matters who you are as a person. You have potential to do boundless things with the start of an idea! And being able to have those moments recorded in history where Jason was playing guitar himself, is incredible to see what he knows how to do. As I mentioned, being a teenager and being able to relate to him through those videos having been the same age... really opens your mind. So with that I say my Thank You's as well! many many times over. Thank You, Jason Becker :D
